In this situation, after the light turns green, can you make a U-turn at the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are waiting in the left lane at a junction in a town next to tram tracks; directional traffic lights S-3 (with arrows) at your lane show a red arrow, then red with amber, and then a green combined arrow for turning left and making a U-turn. After the signal changes to green, you may make a U-turn at the junction. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that the signals of directional traffic lights S-3 apply to drivers travelling in the directions shown by the arrows, and a green S-3 signal means that when driving in the direction shown there is no conflict with other road users. An arrow with a bent head is the U-turn symbol, so when it is green, a U-turn is allowed and free of conflicting traffic. You make the U-turn with your left indicator on, smoothly, still looking at the tracks to check that no tram is coming that might have ignored its signal.
Legal basis: § 97 para. 1 and 3 and § 95 para. 1 point 3 and 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
